EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate plan and cut of the towers of the city of Seyne, meticulously designed by renowned architect Vauban on October 10,1700. The image transports us back in time to an era where fortification was a crucial aspect of urban planning. Vauban, Sebastien Le Prestre de (1633-1707), is celebrated for his innovative approach to military architecture. His expertise shines through in this detailed drawing as he strategically positions each tower within the city walls. The precision and thoughtfulness behind every line demonstrate Vauban's commitment to creating impenetrable defenses. The photograph captures not only the technical brilliance but also the artistic beauty inherent in architectural drawings. It allows us to appreciate both the functional purpose and aesthetic appeal of these structures. The black ink strokes against a white background create a stark contrast that enhances our understanding of their form and function. Preserved at Bibliotheque des Arts Decoratifs in Paris, France, this historical artifact offers invaluable insights into urban planning during that period. Leonard de Selva skillfully captured this image with great attention to detail, ensuring that future generations can admire Vauban's genius. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece, we are reminded of how human ingenuity has shaped our cities throughout history. This photograph serves as a testament to both Vauban's visionary designs and Leonard de Selva's ability to immortalize them through his lens.
